Season 8, Episode 6
What does it really mean to abide in Christ? In this episode of Flourishing Disciples, Pastor Kirk Sexton and Debby DeBernardi explore Jesus’ powerful words in John 15: “I am the True Vine.” Together, they unpack the difference between striving to produce spiritual fruit and learning to live from a place of deep, relational connection with Jesus. As the disciples walked toward Gethsemane, Jesus gave them one final image—not of effort, but of intimacy. The vine and branches remind us that transformation doesn’t come from trying harder, but from abiding more deeply. In this conversation, you’ll discover: Why abiding—not achieving—is the center of spiritual growth How the “trap door” of performance can quietly shape our faith What it means to receive the life of Christ as your own Why fruitfulness is the natural outcome of connection, not the goal You’ll also be guided into a simple, meaningful practice to help you abide in Christ throughout the week. Whether you’re feeling spiritually dry, stuck on the “hamster wheel,” or longing for deeper intimacy with God, this episode invites you to slow down, remain, and receive. “Apart from me, you can do nothing.” — John 15:5

In this episode of the Flourishing Disciples Podcast, Pastor Kirk Sexton is joined by teacher Debby DeBernardi to explore one of Jesus’ most profound declarations in John 14.

Together, Kirk and Debby reflect on what it means to trust Jesus relationally, follow His way in a confusing world, and experience the transforming life that comes from abiding in Him. This conversation invites listeners to deepen their relationship with Christ and take practical steps toward becoming flourishing, discerning disciples.

Season 8, Episode 4
In this episode of Flourishing Disciples Podcast, host Pastor Kirk Sexton sits down with teacher Debby DeBernardi to explore Jesus’ powerful claim in John 11: “I Am the Resurrection and the Life.” Through the story of Lazarus, they reflect on how grief and loss reveal what we truly believe about God and how Jesus invites us to move from trusting a doctrine about resurrection to trusting Him as the Resurrection. What does it mean to experience resurrection life even now? Join the conversation as we consider how faith in Christ brings hope in suffering, freedom from fear, and new life for everyday disciples.
